timers watches showed 2:24119 and Mr..
Beaupre had again cut down the record

When the figures were displayed on the
blackboard the well-known st. Paul
grocer was compelled to doff his hat the
entire length of the stand and pool lawn
in response to the plauditS of the multi
tude. For the days races the judges
were MeSSrs. Evans and PillSbury, of

Long. None of the track officials had
much to do with three out of the four
events Oh the card, for, with the eXcep-
ton of the first race, the results were
never in doubt, as COnde outclassed all
the other horses in the three-minutes
trot, and in the pacing race Patsy
Clinker had his own way for three
heats: and was never pushed. Some OF
the drivers sang a merry song after
reaching the stretch, but their horses

INSTANTANEOUS PHOTOS.
How the Prominent People Ap-
peared on the Ground.

Col. George Clason covered seventeen
sections of the grand stand, crossed the
track twice and made home stretch to
the Judges stand in 81 seconds, beating
the record, when John Il. Wise won the
last heat in the 2:24.
Aid. Dick O'Connor and Sam Dawson
gaZed admiringly on the suckers at the
fortune wheel and praised their martyr
like endurance, but they ''didn't get
drawn in worth cent"
Bruno Beaupre raised his hat to ap-
plauSe several times before he passed
under the wire. His fastest time on
record for the state was anticipated by
magnificent bouquet.
W. R. Merriam, Dan Woodmansee, E.
c. Long and John Oswald got together
and arranged a free-for-all pace for
Monday for purse of 81, 900.
Senator Whiteman, of Duluth, went
into the event with the same spirit he
has displayed upon other equally great
occasions.
The ladies presented a very pict-
uresque appearance, costume and
bouquet commingling in the harmony
of color.
Mrs. w. r. Merriam gave little
shout of joy when Conde came in under
the wire an easy first in the third heat.
Miss Beaupre shared the joy of the
great moment when Mr.. Beaupre'S pa
GERS came in at 2:241a.
II. B. Strait and Senator Castle got
back all their money on Patsy Clinker.
Ed Frost and George Bacon had the
happiest time of anybody.

THE HORSES THAT WON.
The Female Riders Fly the Track
at a RattIiug Pace.

That the crowd was most interested
in the running race by the lady eques-
triennes was evinced by the alarcity
with which the assemblage dispersed
after Miss Masterman, in her green
riding habit, had twice vanquished her
opponent, Miss Morse, who wore drab
corduroy suit, with cap to match. The
sorrell, winner of both heats. shows un-
mistakable evidence of thoroughbred
qualities, and his fair rider gave an
exhibition which has rarely if ever been
excelled by any jockey on the turf
to-day. In fact some of the more ua-
charitable present thought she was
pulling her horse, when in reality she
was merely reserving him for finishing
burst of speed that landed him an easy
winner over two horses, for a
fresh one was pitted against
the sorrel in the second heat.
Then, too, the time of the second heat,
l 80 1-2, is the best on record for lady
rider, and the only regret heard was
that there were not more such events
on the card. Good natured Mr.. Brown

THE ERDENHEIM SALE.
A Splendid Lot of Colts Bring
Small Prices.

Special to the Globe.
SHEEPsHEAD BAY, July 2.-The sale
of the rest of the Erdenheim and Ellers-
lie yearlingS that were not disposed OF
at Jerome Park on the 27th inst. was
completed at the race course this noon.
There was representative attendance
of buyers on hand, but the prices OBJ
tanned were not satisfactory. The 50
head sold for total of SIT ,675, averaging
only S462.50, about half what was eX-
pected. The star lot of the sale, the
chestnut colt by Reform, out of Aus
gins stallion Joe Daniels, sire of Hi
dalgO), went to Appleby & johnson for
$1,700, at which price he was dirt cheap,
good judges considering him the peer OF
any yearling seen this season. The next
highest price was realized by chestnut
filly by Reform out of Madge, max
ing the youngster full sister to
that fast horse, Brown Duke. The Castle
stable, which owns the California horse
Argo, purchased her for $1,000. Dwyer
Brothers invested in a chestnut colt by
Eolus, out of Calash, for which they
gave 500. This yOungster was bred at
r. j. WancOck's EllerSire (Va.) farm,
the birthplace of Eole, Elkwood, EWens
and other
FAMOUS HORSES.
Walker BratZ, owner Of POlkata, Elk
wood, Tendon, ETC., gave $1,000 for Cap
stone, a chestnut colt by CharaXus, out
of Elite. CharaXuS was fast and stout
horse on the English turf, and these are
his first crop of yearlings in America.
Other lots that brought fair prices were
the Reform-Presto colt to j. j. Hyland
for $3.50, the Reform-Elastic filly to j..
F. Walbaum for $3.50, and the Reform
Glidelia colt to j. Il. Stewart, of Council
Bluffs, To-, who has bargain in
this youngster unless all signs fail.
Maj. Hubbard, Commodore KittsOn's
manager, said afterwards that he
thought the Glidelia colt one of the
most promising ever bred on the farm.
Rataplan and the three-year-Old filly
Rosewood are the only horses the
Erdenheim stable now has in training.
Trainer Buchanan says Rataplan is all
ing with kidney trouble, and he has
stopped him in consequence. The Old
horse is being treated with fax seed tea
and his condition is already improved.
He will run at Monmouth if he rounds
too all right. Rosewood, a very speedy
mare, has also been let up for brief
period. There is nothing the matter
with her, but she was hurried along a
little too fast. and Maj. Hubbard thinks
} a short rest will produce good results.

Chioroformed and Robbed.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Between the hours
of 1 and o'clock Thursday morning
the residence of Columbus Smith, at 226
Sangamon street, was entered by a
burglar or burglars. The inmates were
chloroformed and robbed of all their
valuables. At the time of the robbery
there were in the house Mr.. Smith, his
brother Grant Smith, who IS a proprietor
of a laundry at 35 West Van Buren,
street, a young lady boarder and a
servant girl. The family live in the
first fiat, easily accessible from the
ground, and all were placed under the
influence of chloroform before the rob
berry was perpetrated. II was evident
that the victims were thoroughly stupe-
fed by the drug. The thieves ran
sacked the house so hurriedly and in
such a clumsy manner that they over
locked large quantity of valuable
ieWelry and a gold watch and chain.

noon there was a line OF car
riages extending out Rice street
towards the fair grounds as far
as the eye could reach, and when the
enclosure was reached every available
foot of space was utilized for the rigs OF

were filled, and soon the more fashion,

refuge on the paddock opposite the
grand stand. and from this point
of vantage their occupants enjoyed

The lawyers for Sharp, recognizing the
desperation of the slight defense they
had to offer, looked about them towards
the close for some means to break the
force of the testimony of the proSecu-
ton and of the rulings of Judge Bar
rett. 1t was finally decided to adopt the
heroic treatment, not to say tactics, of
Ira Shatfer in the Cleary case. in which
a disagreement resulted, and Mr.. Par

the judge on any rulings he might

young Mr.. Stickney, the attorney in the

rett brought him up with such sharp
turn, and indicated so Enthusiastically

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The commits
sioner of patents to-day, with the ap-
proval of the secretary of the interior,
furnished for publication statement
upon the subject of the deficiency in the
accounts of the lateLevyBacOn, financial
clerk of the patent Office. 1t appears
from this statement that no searching
investigation of Mr.. Bacon's accounts
has yet been made. A committee was
appointed, however, to ascertain in
general way what seemed to be the con-
dition of his accounts. The report of
this committee shows that there is an
apparent shortage of about S33,O00,
about $4,000 of which was in the at
torneys' deposit fund, leaving an
apparent deficit of about S2S,5OO
in his account with the
government, against which were found
due bills from employees and others,
dishOnored drafts and checks and mis-
cellaneOuS memoranda OF Indebtedness,
aggregating about $4,000, which leaves
wholly unaccOunted for of the govern
ment funds about S11,50 OF the items
of Indebtedness mentioned all, except
probably 81 500, are thought to be col
Iectable. Mr.. Baconis bond was for
$4,000. and this amount, deducted from
THE PROBABLE DEFICIENCY, -
will leave loss of from 500 to $500 to
be borne by the government. The
statement says there is some evidence
in the office to indicate that Mr.. Bacon
may have been compelled to carry a
considerable sum of money that was inn
properly appropriated to political pur-
poses in 1880. There was found in his
safe the following memorandum i'll the
handwriting of MI. Bacon:
Amount paid by interior department to
congressional committee for the campaign
OF 1850, 6,04S.s0: by patent office, 81
$50; balance, S11, ,696.SO.
In the register of the interior depart
ment for the year 1880, in which this
memorandum was found, there are en-
eered up in ink assessments against a
large number of employees in the patent
office, aggregating 81, $50, corresponding
with the sum deducted from the S16,-
O4S S.S0ih the memorandum. 1t will be
noticed that the S11, ,6S6.S0, the balance
paid by the interior department, after
deducting what appeared to have been
recovered by assessments upon the
patent office, corresponds within few
dollars with the amount unaccounted
for in Mr.. Bacon's accounts as above
stated.

His "LuIygal."

In little shanty on Ninth street be-
tween Cedar and Wabasha, occupied by
Pearl Wilson, alias Pearl Perkins and

early this morning and dangerously cut
in seven places about the face and head.
Both the inmates and another colOred
man, named John Brown, were locked
up at the central station, charged with
the crime, but no weapons were found
upon their persons. The woman, Pearl
Wilson, is believed to be the guilty
party. Foster returned to the house
after short visit and asked for friend
whom he supposed to be there, and was
attacked in the dark. He was taken to
the city hospital and his wounds pro-
nounced severe, but not fatal.

charged with gross criminality by al
